Melt butter in a skillet over medium heat. Add garlic and cook, stirring, until fragrant, about 1 minute. Quickly stir in the secret sauce and remove from heat.

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook spaghetti in the boiling water, stirring occasionally, until al dente, about 12 minutes.
Use tongs to transfer the cooked spaghetti into the sauce, bringing some pasta water along. Toss until evenly coated, then mix in Parmesan cheese. Add more pasta water if the noodles seem dry.

Serve the noodles on a plate, garnished with chopped green onions and a sprinkle of red pepper flakes.

Chef's Tips
Almost any type of noodle works wonderfully in this dish, but I personally enjoy using classic spaghetti. Other great choices are Chinese egg noodles or ramen.
One of the secret ingredients is Maggi Seasoning Sauce, but I chose to skip it, as it might be hard for the average person to find. Instead, I used a blend of savory, umami-packed substitutes, all of which are easily available at most grocery stores.
